ENDORSEMENTS:
"This charming, clever, practical, and user friendly book is a great desk-side coach for anyone who manages people."
-Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School
"Kaye and Jordan-Evans have written a practical, hands-on and imminently readable book well worth the time of any manager who has ever lost his or her most valuable contributor (or fears that her or she might)."
-Maxine Dalton, Director, New Initiative, Center for Creative Leadership
"Kay and Jordan-Evans provide some of the best thinking I have seen (on the subject of retention) and do it in a format and style that make this book a must-read for both line and HR managers."
-Steve Bauman, Vice President, Management Staffing
and Development, Marriott International
"This is a very good book on a very important subject -- keeping the talent that makes your organization go. Down- to-earth and practical, it gives managers, supervisors, and leaders things that they can do tomorrow -- no, today -- to stop the brain-drain. You'd better read it before your best folks set sail for somewhere else."
-Bill Bridges, author of "Transitions," "Job Shift" and "You, Inc."
